National will keep increasing the number of elective operations, reduce waiting times, and deliver faster, more convenient healthcare for all New Zealanders.
Under National, 500 extra people a week are getting important elective surgery including hip and knee replacements, and cataract, tonsil, and gall-bladder removals.
We will reduce the waiting time for elective surgery from six to four months by the end of 2014. National will also make sure an extra 4000 people a year get the elective surgery they need.
We'll work to make sure emergency patients, those waiting for important tests, and cancer patients have much shorter waiting times. All cancer patients ready for radiation treatment currently get it within the world gold standard time of four weeks, and we will expand that to include chemotherapy patients.
